Antique soup tureen on feet from the prestigious English manufacturer Mason's,

Antique soup tureen on feet from the prestigious English manufacturer Mason's, iconic model "Fruit Basket", 1940-1950. Exceptional piece. This is not an ordinary soup tureen, but a four-footed soup tureen from the prestigious English manufacturer Mason's, iconic model "Fruit Basket". Low soup tureen resting on four curved feet adorned with reliefs of leaves. Patented Mason's ironstone (England). Model: Fruit Basket (multicoloured). A classic design combining English elegance with the influence of high-quality export Chinese porcelain. Decoration featuring fruit baskets, peonies, and Eastern architectural motifs. The lid's knob, a polychrome fruit sculpture, is particularly remarkable. This fruit-shaped lid knob is a handcrafted detail absent from modern reproductions. This piece alone will enhance any room. It bears the Mason's crown and sash, a guarantee of its English origin. It carries the American patent number (US patent no. 71374), which helps to date it. Unlike flat soup tureens, this one rests on four finely crafted feet, giving it a majestic presence at the centre of a table or in a display cabinet. A jewel of English furniture. Very good condition. The glaze is intact and the colours (oranges, blues, and yellows) retain their original vibrancy. Dimensions: 26 X 22 cm. As these are antique objects, they may show signs of wear. The photographs are an integral part of the description and condition of the item.
